1. Lightburn Zeta
   AMC Gremlin
2. Plymouth Prowler
   DeLorean DMC-12

This one's up for debate. Some people love the Prowler but we don't. Maybe if the front wheels were not exposed - they have mudguards for goodness sake - we could like it a little more.

1. Lightburn Zeta
   AMC Gremlin
2. Plymouth Prowler
   DeLorean DMC-12

Let's face it, the DeLorean failed for a number of reasons. Looks must have been one of them. It's not pretty and only really saved by having gullwing doors. It gets coolness points for having formed part of the 'Back to the Future' film trilogy, however. Cool can still be ugly!

1. Marcos Mantis XP
   Ssangyong Rodius
2. Reliant Robin
   Nissan Juke

This one divides opinions. Some people love it, others hate it! it certainly looks different but different isn't always good. In our book, it's not the most beautiful car we have ever seen.

1. Subaru BRAT
   DeLorean DMC-12
2. AMC Gremlin
   Plymouth Prowler

This utility coupe, introduced in 1978, is not one of Subaru's finest design moments. It really looks like it was designed as a car first and then, with a few slices, a utility coupe emerged.

1. Bufori Geneva
   Subaru BRAT
2. 1988 Volvo 240
   AMC Gremlin

Before the Volvo 240 became fairly cool, it was hideous. The wagon version in particular look like a rectangle. Not very aerodynamic at all! What were the designers at Volvo thinking?

1. 1988 Volvo 240
   Bond Bug
2. Nissan Juke
   Nissan S-Cargo

Microcars are fun, normally. The Bond Bug is just terrible to look at. First produced in 1974, the Bug looks like something you might want to squish with your shoe. And its just about small enough to do so.

1. Pontiac Aztek
   1999 Ford Taurus
2. 1988 Volvo 240
   Marcos Mantis XP

The 1999 version of the Ford Taurus wasn't particularly pleasant on the eye. With its droopy headlights, it just looked sad. Very, very sad. One almost expected it to start crying. And from the back, it was just as ugly with that strange oval rear window.

1. Reliant Robin
   Bufori Geneva
2. DeLorean DMC-12
   DeLorean DMC-12

Great name! Shame about the rest of it. The Geneva is a modern car trying to pull off a retro feel. That always ends in tears, although from the side, it's not too bad. From the front, however, it's hideous.

1. Aston Martin Lagonda Shooting Brake
   Ssangyong Rodius
2. Subaru BRAT
   DeLorean DMC-12

This massive MPV was first marketed in 2004. The good? It can carry up to 11 people. The bad? They won't want to get in it because it's so ugly! In particular, the curvy lines that form toward the rear only for it to become totally square. Horrendous! That's the only way to describe the Ssangyong Rodius.

1. 1999 Ford Taurus
   Aston Martin Lagonda Shooting Brake
2. Bufori Geneva
   Volkswagen 181

Dubbed 'The Thing,' the 181 was an interesting vehicle from Volkswagen. It looked like a military vehicle from World War II, not necessarily a good thing. And that slant of the hood just didn't fit in with the overall design.

1. AMC Gremlin
   Ssangyong Rodius
2. Aston Martin Lagonda Shooting Brake
   Fiat Multipla

What was Fiat thinking? This compact MPV was first released in 1998. With its odd shape, it got more notice thanks to its looks than anything else. And those weird mid-center lights? What are those all about?

1. Bond Bug
   Fiat Multipla
2. Pontiac Aztek
   Plymouth Prowler

Released to the American public in 2001, the Aztek from Pontiac wasn't a pretty looking car, especially the sloping rear section. It didn't sell well either. "Breaking Bad," the acclaimed TV series, made the Aztek just a little more famous, however.

1. Yugo
   AMC Pacer
2. 1988 Volvo 240
   Bufori Geneva

Rubbish looks, rubbish reliability. That about sums about the Yugo. Strangely, over 140,000 were sold in the United States in the 1980s. I'm pretty sure most had buyer's remorse.

1. AMC Pacer
   DeLorean DMC-12
2. Volkswagen 181
   Nissan Cube

Not many people will remember the Pacer had it not been for its starring role in the slacker comedy and cult classic, "Wayne's World." This was one fairly unremarkable but ugly car.

1. Fiat Multipla
   Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar
2. Subaru BRAT
   Subaru BRAT

Released in 1974, the Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar is ... let's try to be nice here ... interesting. This electric car was released during the oil crisis but let's be honest, it looks like a wedge of cheese.

1. Nissan Juke
   Volkswagen 181
2. Nissan Cube
   Subaru BRAT

It's a cube, on wheels. No more words necessary. No, we won't let it stand there. Just what was Nissan thinking when it released the Cube? And to those who bought one? Why? Why would you buy a car that looks like it belongs in a Tetris game?

1. Toyota Mirai
   Suzuki X-90
2. Reliant Robin
   Nissan Cube

Another city car, another ugly car. The X-90 looks like someone took a full-sized car and squashed it from both sides. These cars should be cute, not hideous!!

1. Smart ForTwo
   Corbin Sparrow
2. AMC Pacer
   DeLorean DMC-12

Another vehicle famous from a movie (it appeared in Austin Powers: Goldmember), the Corbin Sparrow looks like a banana that has had one end cut off (especially when painted yellow). Quirky ... yes. Beautiful ... no!

1. Toyota Mirai
   Yugo
2. Aston Martin Lagonda Shooting Brake
   Marcos Mantis XP

Now this car has some cool about it thanks to the fact that it is powered by hydrogen. And from the back it looks ... OK. From the front, however, it's not a great piece of design. We think they were going for a futuristic look, but the world isn't ready yet.

1. Reliant Robin
   Porsche Panamera
2. Smart ForTwo
   Suzuki X-90

The Smart ForTwo has been around for a few decades. And when it comes to subcompact cars, it's prettier than most. It still looks like a bug you want to squash, though. And it's made from plastic. That's not very safe, is it?

1. Porsche Panamera
   Citroën Ami
2. Smart ForTwo
   Smart ForTwo

French car manufacturer Citroen has made a few interesting-looking cars over the years. The Ami is perhaps the ugliest one to date, though. And it wasn't just one version. All of them were fairly hideous.

1. Lightburn Zeta
   AMC Gremlin
2. Plymouth Prowler
   DeLorean DMC-12

With its elongated hood and cut-off back section, the Gremlin looks a bit like a wedge of cheese. Or a door stop. One thing is for sure, it was one of the stupidest-looking cars of the 1970s.

1. Corbin Sparrow
   Porsche Panamera
2. AMC Goblin
   Nissan Cube

Oh Porsche, what were you thinking? We get you wanted a four-door executive sports car but did it have to be so ugly? It doesn't even really look like a Porsche.

1. Lightburn Zeta
   AMC Gremlin
2. Subaru BRAT
   Aston Martin Lagonda Shooting Brake

What a name! Pity about the abysmal shape. All pointy in the front and square at the back. That's never worked in car design and certainly doesn't here.

1. Mitsuoka Nouera
   Toyota Mirai
2. Bugatti 1010 Exner Ghia
   AMC Pacer

Even Bugatti get it wrong. Look at it from the rear and the Exner is not too bad-looking. But what did they do to the front? That grill is just hideous and why are the headlights tucked so far back?

1. Nissan Juke
   Suzuki X-90
2. Toyota MasterAce
   Tatra 603

Another car from a communist country, another lesson in how not to design a vehicle. The Tatra was built in Czechoslovakia between 1956 and 1975. We're not quite sure how to describe the design at all on this one. Let's go with scarab-like ...

1. Porsche Panamera
   Daewoo Tico
2. Toyota MasterAce
   Reliant Robin

Certainly not a master or an ace, this van certainly wasn't bought for its looks. That said, it was fairly practical. And yes, you could see why someone might want one. But not for its looks.

1. Marcos Mantis XP
   Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar
2. Plymouth Prowler
   Aston Martin Lagonda Shooting Brake

If we're honest, a few better design elements and the Mantis XP might have been a looker. Now, however, it's not the prettiest sports car you will ever see. And that's us being nice. The front, in particular, looks like a motorbike rode straight down the middle of the hood and dented it perfectly.

1. Mitsuoka Nouera
   Citroën Ami
2. Suzuki X-90
   Nissan Juke

Just look at this vehicle. This is the Mitsuoka Nouera, which is produced in Japan, incidentally. That grill is hideous and certainly doesn't fit in with all of those lights. We will pass on this one, thanks.

1. Smart For Two
   Reliant Robin
2. Bugatti 1010 Exner Ghia
   Jetstream SC250

Open-top cars such as the Jetstream SC250 can be a hit or miss affair. Often, it's their performance that sees them walk off the sales floor. No amount of performance could help the SC250 though. And what's up with that incredible angle on the windscreen?

1. Lincoln Versailles
   Lamborghini Veneno
2. Bugatti 1010 Exner Ghia
   Toyota Mirai

Named after a beautiful French palace, the Lincoln Versailles is certainly not easy on the eye. And its that half moon on the backend really puts it over the top. Well that, and most of the rest of it as well.

1. Marcos Mantis M70
   Ssangyong Rodius
2. Nissan Juke
   Lamborghini Veneno

A Lambo among the world's ugliest cars? Yes. Look at it. It seems to have been designed by a 12-year old. It has more pointy bits than a triangle.

1. Daewoo Tico
   Jensen S-V8
2. Yugo
   1999 Ford Taurus

City cars can be fairly bland, but the Tico looks like a lump of margarine left in the fridge. And all those windows? Not great if you need your privacy.

1. Bricklin SV-1
   1985 Buick Skylark
2. DeLorean DMC-12
   AMC Pacer

Square and angular - for us the third generation Buick Skylark looks like a squarangle! Not only ugly, it's just boring. Buick, you should be ashamed of yourself having that monstrosity as part of the Skylark brand.

1. Nissan Juke
   Fiat Multipla
2. Reliant Robin
   Marcos Mantis XP

A quirky three-wheeler, the Reliant Robin was made famous in the Mr. Bean TV series as well as the madcap Top Gear crew trying to launch it like a space shuttle. No matter how quirky it is, it is still ugly.

1. Tatra 603
   Bricklin SV-1
2. Smart For Two
   Jensen S-V8

Gull-wing doors ... pretty cool! Shaped like a doorstop ... not so much! The Bricklin SV-1 was only produced for two years from 1974 to 1975. In other words, it was a total failure.

1. Jetstream SC250
   Jensen S-V8
2. Mitsuoka Nouera
   Toyota Mirai

British car companies have always built some excellent sports cars. Not even the fact that it was a convertible could save the ugliness of the SV-8, however. The fact that the body panels didn't seem to fit correctly either, didn't help.

1. Nissan Cube
   Porsche Panamera
2. Lincoln Versailles
   Davis D-2 Divan

The Davis D-2 Divan is a three-wheeler from the late 1940s that looks like a pointy shoe, not a car. Or roller skates for giants! It was only built for a period of three years and wasn't that successful.

1. 1985 Buick Skylark
   Marcos Mantis M70
2. Smart For Two
   Tatra 603

How pointy is the M70? That said, it looks like the front, middle and rear sections are all designed by different people. Not a good thing when it comes to car design!

1. Lightburn Zeta
   AMC Gremlin
2. Plymouth Prowler
   DeLorean DMC-12

Made in Australia, the Zeta first entered production in 1963. This lasted to 1965 with only 400 sold. This might have been on account of the fact that the Zeta not only had a silly name but was hideous to look at.
